Decision details

Council therefore resolves to:

·       Instruct the Chief Executive to write to Mark Harper MP Secretary of State for Transport, and the Chief Executive of the Rail Delivery Group, expressing Council’s opposition to the possible closure of staffed rail ticket offices – and in particular the offices across the Devon County Council area

·       Instruct the Chief Executive to write to the rail operator(s) running local ticket offices in Devon expressing the Council’s opposition to any plans to close the staffed ticket office in the County Council area.

·       Refer this issue to Scrutiny with the recommendation that representatives from the relevant rail operator(s) are invited to attend a Scrutiny Meeting at the earliest possible point to discuss future plans for ticket offices and staffing in Devon.
